    How does this grade thresholds work?

    If you check last year's Physics, Chemistry and Biology's grade thresholds, you would notice that the total mark is out of 200. However, for those doing P1, P3 and P6, the total mark doesn't exceed 160! So, is the mark they have put for A* for example, considered out of 200 or out of 160?

    No curve in 2012?!?

    english as a first language?...........right/

    I am studying first language English and I never required a single book. I suggest you do past papers only and look for information regarding the structure of your essays. There really is no book that can help you a lot in English; practice and let an English teacher or expert mark it for you.

    Is it advisable for an IGCSE graduate to enter university immediately?

    Most of the good universities require AS level at least. I doubt they would accept you with IGCSE only. Plus, the IGCSE doesn't provide you with enough knowledge to enter a university.

    Physics, Chemistry and Biology: Post your doubts here!

    Ionization is always about knocking-off electrons from an atom. Therefore, an alpha particle for example, which is the most ionizing, would knock-off electrons from air molecules, causing them to become anions. These electrons that are knocked-off are absorbed or attracted by other atoms, making...

    physics paper 1 preparation help needed !!!

    P1 only deals with the core part of the syllabus. Id doesn't have any extended material. Truthfully, you can't study for P1, especially if you know the concept well. What you need the most is a lot of practice and solving of past papers, and as the one above said, O-levels are harder, yet they...

    Mathematics: Post your doubts here!

    Let us forget invariant lines for a while. Enlargement is when the whole object changed its size. Stretch changes the size of one side of the object, while the other one stays the same. For example, if a square with sides 2cm is enlarged by the scale factor of 2, then the square will become...

    Alright, here is the solution for the first part: 0.5*QP*PR*sin(P)=48 0.5*10*14*sin(P)=48 sin(P)=48/70 P=sin^-1(48/70) P=43.29 a.k.a 43.3 For the second part: QR^2= 296-(280sin(43.3)) Then find the square root.
